Beauty: Holiday Gift Guide

December 9, 2015 Add Comment

Hope everyone is enjoying this Holiday Season! Monica here from Beauty Parler. If you're like me I tend to wait last minute to buy gifts. But, I seriously need to change that habit as most beauty gifts sell out quick. For any beauty aficionado this is the season to do some serious shopping and I mean for yourself too. Stock up on your favourite makeup products because it's the best time to find deals and kits that aren't normally offered throughout the year.

For example, the Charlotte Tilbury 'The Bombshell' Set is almost a complete full-face set minus a foundation at an exceptional value versus buying the items separately. Items like makeup brushes are another great add to your wish-list. Sigma Brushes (as pictured) are a great gift for a teen or young adult who is looking to start a makeup kit without breaking the bank.

Can't forget those work parties and Secret Santa exchange. Co-workers love hand creams and lipbalms. Kiehl's is my go-to source in that department. Love the Kiehl's #1 Lip Balm, perfect for dry cracked Winter lips. For the lipstick lovers at the office or a great hostess gift, the Clinique 'Days of the Week' Matte lipstick set if a fabulous gift.

Am I the only one that likes to stock up on beauty products this time of year? Do tell. Happy Shopping!

We are approaching the Holidays & it's time to start thinking about gift ideas as well as sprucing up your home for the Season! I like to drink coffee. Wait...... I LOVE to drink coffee & hot chocolate in the Winter....so yummy. Speaking of Holiday & Winter, this past weekend I went shopping at Sur La Table & would love to show you my Festive Finds.

What do I mean?!?

Well.....Nespresso arranged for me to go to their cafe boutique to enjoy treats for two & then treated me to a shopping spree at Sur La Table. While there, I picked up many things for myself & some gifts for my mom & a couple friends! One of the coolest finds was the Nespresso Vertuoline Espresso machine - perfect for large cup coffee drinkers! I think you'll love all the goodies that Sur La Table has in store, they even have a cooking-class area, for those interested in learning to cook - who knew!?! Read below & discover why these are my Festive Finds, hope you feel inspired & pick something up for yourself or a friend!

Looking for a gift idea for that special cook in your life, then you must check out Sur La Table here.
